May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and while we’re in the thick of spring when everything around us seems to be blooming and moving forward, it feels like the right time to pause, reflect, and reset. Just because life is moving fast doesn’t mean we feel like we are. And sometimes, the noise, the pressure, or even the pace of “keeping up” can leave us mentally and emotionally worn down or off track.

When I first started my wellness journey, I thought healthy living was just about food. Eating better was where I began, and it opened the door to a new way of life. But the more I learned, the more I realized that wellness isn’t just about what’s on my plate, it’s about everything around me.

My babies are officially passing the seedling stage and gearing up to produce! Watching them grow from tiny sprouts to strong, thriving plants has been such a rewarding experience. Learning to grow my own food has deepened my appreciation for the process, the patience, and the abundance that comes from a little effort and care.

Finally, a break in the weather gave me a chance to prep my soil and plant a few more vegetables. I was excited to get my hands in the dirt, but I quickly realized I didn’t buy enough soil. Rookie mistake! About 80% of what I’m growing needs at least 12 inches of depth, so I had to get creative—redistributing what I had to one side of the bed until I can grab more.

I’m gearing up for my spring garden, and this time, I’m switching things up! Instead of a full garden bed in the yard, I’m bringing the operation up to my balcony—three stories high.

Last spring, if you remember, Florida squirrels wiped me out. 😭 They feasted on my seedlings, dug through my soil, and left me with nothing but empty garden beds and broken dreams. This year, I’m hoping Texas squirrels have better manners. 🤞🏽

Remember when Tezya and I talked about the importance of shopping fresh and local? Well, this is exactly what we meant!

Today, we had the chance to stop by @freshhouwse for the grand opening of their new location on the South Side of Houston—and let me tell you, this place is a game-changer.

Today, I had the opportunity to volunteer at Westbury Community Garden in Southwest Houston alongside my girl Tezya.. The weather was a little chilly, but the energy and warmth of the people there made it feel just like home.

This autumn fruit salad is all about cozy vibes and rich flavors. Loaded with crisp apples, juicy pears, sweet figs, and a touch of cinnamon, it’s the perfect mix of freshness and warmth. Drizzle with a little maple for that extra fall flair—it’s like a hug in every bite!

This spring fruit salad is fresh, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Packed with juicy berries, citrus, and a hint of mint, it’s the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. Whether you’re having it for breakfast or as a snack, this salad brings all the sunshine vibes to your table.

This past weekend, I linked up with my girl Tezya to visit Urban Harvest Farmers Market and as always, it was a reminder of why I love shopping at farmers markets. We’re both passionate about health and wellness, especially when it comes to where our food comes from.

Last summer a few of my friends and my online community participated in a 5-Day Summer Salad Challenge. Of the 5 Salads, I created a recipe for the Strawberry, Apple Walnut Super Green Salad. We paired it with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Embracing mindful journaling is a way to harness the power of daily intention and shape your reality by inviting positivity, clarity, and purpose into your life and fostering a lifestyle of constant evolution and self-improvement.

After recovering from COVID-19, I started juicing to improve my diet and strengthen my immune system. Before going plant-based, my pallet was really limited, and my mind was closed to trying anything new. Converting to a plant-based lifestyle changed all of that.

It’s officially soup season and I’m starting it off with this this Vegan Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup. It’s rich, creamy, and full of flavor without the need for dairy. It's perfect for a comforting, warming meal.

As 2022 came to a close, I found myself on a path of personal development and wellness that would come to define my year ahead. Rooted in my growing passion for nutrition, health, and wellness, I set out to achieve several goals that would not only transform my life but also better equip me to share knowledge with others within my community.

I never realized how much I relied on Honey until recently. I use it in so many different ways - from cooking and baking to juice and herbal tea, to making homemade skin products and even home remedies for my allergies. As someone who's conscious about consuming things positive for my health, I've been trying to make better choices when it comes to the ingredients in my pantry and Honey is no exception.

Meal prep isn't a new concept for me, it’s a practice I began years before I transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle. If you've been following my personal socials on IG, Facebook, and TikTok, you know that I enjoy spending my Sundays on meal prep. When time permits, I try to share real time what’s going down in my kitchen on a Sunday evening. For me, meal prep is the number one way I’m able to stay on track with my eating and it also just starts my week off with a healthy, fresh mind set.

Today, Kev and I had the dopest experience volunteering at Infinite Zion Farms Urban Community Farm. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Mr. Prince, who was not only an amazing guide but also a wealth of knowledge on agriculture, sustainability, entrepreneurship, environmental science, and farming techniques. His passion for the work they’re doing in the community was undeniable, and it made the experience even more meaningful.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been making an effort to reduce the use of Processed/Packaged Foods in my Recipes and diet. Although quick and convenient, Processed Foods can have High Sodium/Salt content and also contain Additives and Preservatives that aren’t the best for your health.

I love Vinaigrette Salad Dressings! Only a couple on the shelves do it for me. So I started working on perfecting my own White Wine Vinaigrette a while back and I think I’ve almost got it just right for my taste buds.
